Getting Wild with Roxy in NYC

When Rex and I lived in the West Village, and Brent and Fitz lived on the Upper West Side, our friends from out of town were always showing up for unannounced sleepovers, demanding that we take them on sightseeing tours of our favorite Things to do in New York City. We would dutifully put together a full weekend's worth of fun, including tourist favorites such as the Statue of Liberty, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building, the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), a visit to Times Square including cheap tickets to a Broadway show, the Museum of Natural History, and the Bronx Zoo. We'd also include certain "just for locals" elements such as a walk through the Meatpacking District (in the old days you could always find a few transvestite prostitutes instead of today's chic designer boutiques), shopping on Bleecker Street (including cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery), and dinner at a favorite restaurant or two (La Foccacia in the Village and Beppe in the Flatiron District come to mind).


Since Rex and I have moved out to the Roxiticus Valley and Brent and Fitz have also moved to the suburbs, you can't sleep at our place if you come to visit New York City. Instead, you'll have to take the recommendations I've given you on my Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blog and look into Trusted Tours and Attractions, where you'll find discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America, including New York City. While you're at the Trusted Tours & Attractions site, be sure to check out their special promotion where you can enter to win a $150 itunes gift card by signing up for their eNewsletter. Offer ends Saturday, May 31st, 2008.

Meanwhile, I've been working on my Laguna Beach, California blog, which will be revealed to our loyal Roxiticus Desperate Housewives readers soon, and in preparation for Brent & Fitz's August 2008 trip to the West Coast, we're developing a terrific list of wild things to do in Los Angeles. We'll keep you posted!
